A very long established water supply reservoir for the canal system this lake has a reputation for big fish. Apart from carp there are some roach and above average tench. Although not often caught there are also same very big crucians and even some bream that could go over 10lb. Its worth taking a look at the pike as well. There used to be 2 lakes but several years ago they were joined and this has spread the fish about. The water is controlled by the Coventry Angling Association. They do provide day tickets but their low cost season book is worth considering. The membership books are available in local tackle shops or even on the bank, Day permits are available on the bank.  It is only available from the Assistant Secretary. How to obtain it is laid out in the membership card. Under present By-Laws the reservoir can remain open during the normal close season from mid March to mid June but members will be asked to pay a supplement of £1.00 per visit. Members with a night permit do not have to pay the supplement. All the members cards are available in the tackle shops throughout the area. Banks and Burr have them in Rugby so please come and talk to us if you wish to join. Carp have lived in Napton for many years and there are some very good fish but they are not easy, but there is the satisfaction of knowing that any capture is a real sense of achievement. There is a good head of tench with fish over 6lb and some superb crucian carp that are well over 2lb. Excellent tench with fish over 2lb and some very large bream make Napton a real specimen anglers water. Same good pike as well. There is a good access from a road used by the boat marina at Calcutt Locks. The anglers carp park is clearly marked. Charges Full member £17.50 Book . Reductions for Juniors and OAP's.
